— This paper describes realtime and robust tracking of a planar motion target by matched filter implemented on the CMOS+FPGA vision system. It is required to obtain positional a...
— Hierarchical state machines have proven to be a powerful tool for controlling autonomous robots due to their flexibility and modularity. For most real robot implementations, h...
Abstract— This paper describes the design of a fast longjumping robot conceived to move in unstructured environments through simple feed-forward control laws. Despite the apparen...
